2. Measure concealed moisture

   Cabinet backs and toe kicks can hold moisture out of sight. A targeted assessment reaches those likely pockets.

3. Clean and open affected layers

   Porous layers soaked with Category 3 water may require disposal. The crew controls the affected area during cleanup.

4. Dry and verify progress

   Daily moisture records track the subfloor and wall base. A repair contractor waits for the dry-out before closing finishes.
